The unforgiving minute: The power of television

FOX News' Bill O'Reilly and Gretchen Carlson are worried about the power of television:
During the April 19 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly hosted a segment attacking this week’s episode of Glee for featuring a storyline about a transgender teenager struggling with her gender identity. O’Reilly was joined by Fox & Friends’ Gretchen Carlson and Judge Jeanine Pirro.

Throughout the segment, O’Reilly and Carlson criticized Glee for encouraging “dopey kids” to experiment with homosexuality and possibly identify as transgender, comparing LGBT youth to smokers and “drug-fueled” celebrities
I can see their point. I've long suspected that watching O'Reilly and Carlson could make kids experiment with bigotry and possibly identify as blowhards.

Minute's up.

There's nothing wrong for being a gay and I think Glee just showed us the reality of having an identity crisis to many youths today.

Dear Celebrity transgender:

I agree. There is nothing wrong with being gay. Shows like Glee do just show the reality of what many young people today are going through.

My point is that O'Reilly and Carlson are bigoted blowhards. Was that not clear?
